Trains Fighting Gravity On Big Hill, Train Working Hard With DPU Goes Under Me, 6 Trains In Kentucky

Listen To This Train Working Up The Big Hill! We See A Train Go Under A Bridge With The DPU Working Hard. Norfolk Southern Trains At The Steepest & Curviest Part Of The Hill. 6 trains are going up and down the hill. These trains are in Crescent Springs, Kentucky on the NS Rat Hole Line. This line is owned by Cincinnati and leased to NS for about 25 million a year.
Trains are seen passing through the S curves near the top of the grade and I filmed one train with a DPU going under me while I was on the pedestrian bridge over the tracks. We also see the small free library next to the tracks. The tracks were busy on the day that I was here and twice when I was leaving a train came. The last train I was in my truck and just getting ready to back out when a local switching train came down the hill. I heard them talking on the scanner on 160.950 just a mile or so north of me working a customer. I was able to just barely get out and film it before it passed. These trains are on the hill that comes up from the Ohio River and crests at Elsmere. Pusher locomotives cut off at Elsmere and return down the hill light. I have some videos of them doing that.

If the right young person takes and reads the railroad magazine you may have another lover of the railroad 😀😀😀👍👍👍

That house above the tracks is an awesome railfan house! And some brand new grain cars. Great spot.

The first train was sure pulling hard. Great location.

[@louGriggs1944]

Although it wasn't too long, that last train coming up the hill was like "What hill?". Nice one. Thanks.

Great video JT. Love those railfanning spots you find at the top of a hill. Love hearing the locos pullin hard with a big train up a grade. Like the overhead shots too.

The overhead view was awesome. Nippon is a Japanese rail. I think CSX uses a 141 rail now we rolled them when I worked at the Steelton Rail Mill.

[@JawTooth]

I have seen the 141 rail in a few spots. Thanks for watching!

Hey JawTooth and Mrs JawTooth Awesome view Enjoy the rest of your weekend

[@beulahpowell1478]

This video is awesome 👍. We just saw this on our Roku tv but couldn't make a comment. This makes twice we saw this one. Very good. All that trash that was thrown down under the pedestrian overpass was awful. Unacceptable. Thank you we enjoyed this video and your black kitty was sweet.

[@thomasmackowiak]

This is another enjoyable video that you took at Crescent Springs, Kentucky, Jaw Tooth! All the locations that you use to shoot videos in Crescent City, Kentucky are great train watching locations.

[@Nano-pj4lh]

We can notice that the Union Pacific locomotives have changed their look. The flag has a new location. Although the Union Pacific crest remains on the nose of the locomotive, the wings around it have been removed to allow the crest to occupy more space. The new design is gradually being implemented, as the locomotives are overhauled, by Jenks' shops in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the information!

[@penciltucky]

The USA flags looks better on the sides of the nose.

[@mikewigim2864]

The trash under the overpass is sad. If Kentucky had a deposit law, it would take care of most of that mess. My home state of Iowa has a 5 cent deposit on all aluminum, glass and plastic drink containers and that kind of mess is rarely seen. There are people who still throw them on the land, but others who are looking to make some money will pick them up and turn them in for cash. It has worked well. Your neighboring state of Michigan has a 10 cent deposit law, for example.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome ideas! We need that here. I can’t keep the ditch clean in front of my farm

[@mattheisler3655]

Great video. Also, I like the commentary. Thanks for sharing JT.

[@stevensipes1823]

I noticed something unusual. Most of the time on wood ties they will spike them down on the fishplates. Those were the pratzel type. Most of the time they use those on concrete ties. I think the reason this time was the sharp curves to keep from going out of gauge. You can sure tell that the cat really loves you by the way she was purring and acting. That is special! I have had cats in the past. And you got a good one. Plus she gets along with the dogs. The reason that works is because you got the cat as a kitten and they grew up together. Have not seen the duck in awhile. Steven Sipes

Regarding the shorts. I watch them, usually, and they are great, but...I don't have cable tv and KZbin is my "go to" entertainment. Your channel is on the top of my list. That being said, when I sit down to watch videos, I don't enjoy continually clicking on them every minute to see content. I would rather click on a video and have it run for a while so I can just relax and enjoy. This video, btw, was great. I love how the shadows of the tree limbs went across the 2nd train as it passed under the trestle. It had almost a psychedelic affect. You have a fantastic talent for getting some awesome shots!!

Well, Señor Jaws... started your video this Sunday morning at 7:15 a.m. with a butt-chillin' 9°C (48°F) outside, but sunny here as well. Gonna watch my birthplace Buffalo Bills play yer Cincy Cats today. Maybe you might see some of the Bills players scouting out some of yer favorite R/R video places. They're a fine and friendly group of lads. Should be an interesting game. Have a good day! RT sends, Puebla, México...

Love your cat, Norfie. I have a cat the same color as yours and his name is Shadow, no white at all, and he is going on to 17 years old. Jaw Tooth, love watching those trains come up and down that long hill, the close ups of the engines and cars brings railfanning to another level. Thanks for taking the time to film and post them. Blessings.

Hello JT. Rails made in Japan by Nippon steel? It does seem tracks where lag screws and pandrol clips are used stays level and smooth.

[@acmeexplosives]

From the 4:00 - 4:30 mark into the video.. the cars were so quiet rolling past that it sounded like you could hear the ties squeaking. Also.. yet another train showing up as you’re calling it a day. 😆

[@alanwbelcher]

The first train must have just come from a hump yard (in Cincinnati?). The edges of the wheels on every car were bright & shiny.

[@roelofvenema6500]

Great good made video, mr Jaw Tooth. The trains hill up and you smell dust it could be steel from the wheels of the locomotives and steel from the top of the rails. Wheels of the locomotives slipping on the top of the rails. Using sand and the slip of the wheels is over for 90%.. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands 🇾🇪🇺🇸

[@paulbergen9114]

Excellent timing on your visit especially picking up six trains. The first train was working the hardest and if you look at the covered Hopper just ahead of the green BNSF you'll see the statement Winter is a Disease. Obviously they have spent considerable time in the plains and Midwest with most averaging one day of sunshine 3 weeks. Second train was the hill Hustler while the downhill had 2 of the captive IC\ICG. Flats going back for aluminum ingots. Those brown NS open.top coil cars look like container well cars from the outside. Train 4 as it went uphill had at least 1 AOKX covered Hopper leaking Frac sand from the bottom. Its also possible the not so gently used SOO or Klemme Grain cars had dust coming out the discharge gates The latter two pretty common but also shows off the new NS coil cars both in Gray and black. Plus the local sneaking home that's the jackpot. Norfie the Bengals cheerleader enjoyed Media Day You warmed us up with the sunny 🎥 so time for a cocoa break! Thanks

Woooooaaaa Brian !!!! Holy Toledo !!!! How bout them thar Bengals???? Going to beat the Bills in Orchard Park,their home field with snow?? How freakin big is this ???

That was huge!! I couldn't believe it. I listened to the game on the radio while I was driving home. I filmed trains in the snow today. We got a bunch with a winter weather advisory so I had to film. I almost drove to Dunkirk New York yesterday to film up there and be near the Bengals but my truck has too many little lights on in the dash. Lol
